In line with these findings, training programmes should be organised to increase the knowledge and skills of nurses on patient transfer safety, and safety protocols for patient transfer processes should be developed and compliance with these protocols should be encouraged. More research should be conducted in this area to determine other factors affecting patient transfer safety, and feedback mechanisms should be created where nurses can express the difficulties they encounter. Implementation of these recommendations will improve nurses' patient transfer safety practices and thus increase patient safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of the study are important to understand the effects of certain demographic factors (gender, age, education level, years of working in the profession and institution, marital status, etc.). In clinical practice, it should be aimed for intensive care nurses to undertake the necessary roles and responsibilities for IHT with adequate training. These results can be used to guide policy development and education strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.70285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T15:35:38Z","timestamp":1767886538000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intensive Care Nurses' Practices on Intrahospital Patient Transfer Safety and Associated\u00a0Factors: A Multicentre Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6941-8240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G\u00fclistan","family":"Yurdag\u00fcl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Services Vocational School Kilis 7 Aral\u0131k University  Kilis T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"40","key":"e_1_2_16_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.17944\/mkutfd.535827","article-title":"Do\u011fum ve Do\u011fum Sonu D\u00f6nemde Hasta G\u00fcvenli\u011fi ve Ebelerin Sorumluluklar\u0131","volume":"11","author":"\u015eeno\u011flu A.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Mustafa Kemal \u00dcniversitesi T\u0131p Dergisi"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_16_3_1","first-page":"612","article-title":"The Nurses' Role in Patient Safety\u2010Literature Review","volume":"18","author":"Machitidze M.","year":"2023","journal-title":"American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.13053"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.12527"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.12611"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/intqhc\/mzy084"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aucc.2018.12.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21608\/ejhc.2022.260889"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.15214"},{"key":"e_1_2_16_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CNQ.0000000000000229"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_16_12_1","first-page":"533","article-title":"Nurses' Knowledge of Intra\u2010Hospital Transport of Critical Patients\/Conhecimento da Enfermeira Sobre o Transporte Intra\u2010Hospitalar do Paciente Critico\/Conocimiento de la Enfermera Sobre el Transporte Intrahospitalario de los Pacientes en Sstado Critico","volume":"22","author":"Pedreira L.
